How do I add, remove and reorder sections?
The left panel holds your sections. Fill them in and the page rebuilds as you type. You can drag sections into a different order, take some off the resume and add extras such as Certifications.
The built in sections
- Personal Details, including your professional summary
- Work Experience
- Education
- Projects
- Skills
- Social
- Achievements
- Finalise, where the template, colour and download sit
Shape the resume
- Fill a section
Open it in the left panel and type. The page on the right updates as you go.
- Reorder
Drag a section to move it. Freshers usually want Education above Work Experience.
- Add an extra section
Use the section picker to add ready made ones such as Certifications, Languages, Courses, Volunteering, Publications and Conferences, or create your own with a custom title.
- Take one off
Sections you do not need can be removed. Removing is not deleting: the entries stay saved, so you can put the section back with its content intact.
Useful controls
- Undo and redo
- In the top bar on a computer, or Ctrl or Cmd with Z.
- Move an entry
- Each entry has its own up and down controls, so one job can move without reordering the section.
- Bullets or paragraph
- Each section's free text can be laid out as bullets or as a paragraph.
- Preview in full screen
- In the top bar, to read the page as a recruiter would.

Can I rename a section?
A custom section takes any title you give it. The built in ones keep standard headings on purpose, because screening software looks for those exact words.
Where do my edits go?
